ABOUT US 

The P.U.P.A Project was founded in 2021 by Ja’Lyn R. McElroy after a simple but powerful question changed everything: If someone needed free menstrual products, where could they go? While shopping for her own period essentials, she realized there were no easily accessible resources for those in need. This discovery led her to research period poverty, and what she found sparked immediate action.

​

Inspired by the butterfly’s life cycle, “P.U.P.A” symbolizes transformation—aiding the transition. Our mission is to provide essential period aid, alleviate period poverty, and break the stigma around menstrual cycles through education and advocacy.
